]]> <![CDATA[The Years Go Really Fast, On A Doomed Planet]]> To quote Simon, son of Killface from Frisky Dingo, "Boosh!"

For those of you unfamiliar with Frisky Dingo, arch-villian Killface builds the Annihilatrix, a massive set of rocket engines jutting out of a parking lot, to push the Earth into the Sun. If you're a fan of the super hero genre being turned upside down and bitch smacked this [adult swim] toon is for you!

That's the time it will take to launch the Kepler mission and give it enough time to collect its data. By then, they expect somewhere on the order of a few hundred Earth sized worlds at the right distance from their home stars to be in the habitable zone. Confirmation, i.e. and oxidizing atmosphere, may indeed take significantly more resolution, as you say, but there are projects in place for that too.

]]> <![CDATA[The Years Go Really Fast, On A Doomed Planet]]> I do wonder how long they will find a habitual planet. Another order of magnitude of resolution ought to do it, yes?

You lie! On TrES-3 there was life, a fair chance -

THIS is TrES-3. TrES-4 exploded six months after
we were left here. The shock shifted the orbit of
this planet and everything was laid waste. Admiral
Kirk never bothered to check on our progress.

It was only the fact of my genetically engineered
intellect that enabled us to survive!
